Hi ladies
I have been on HRT since March and have not settled into a proper bleeding pattern. My GP sent me for blood tests, which were ok, and a scan. She rang today and said the scan warranted a referral to a gynaecologist for a biopsy.
So I asked if it was because the lining was too thick. She said that if I was post menopausal then yes it would be, but it's ok as I am in peri. So then she said it was an urgent referral, not a cancer referral, but not a regular wait-few-months referral.
The radiographer had said To me at the time that everything looked ok on the scan, except I have a small fibroid.
So....what might have made them want to do a biopsy? Is it just because I a bleeding out of the expected pattern or are there other reasons likely?
I also asked if I needed to come off HRT and she said the gynaecologist she spoke to had said not to, and if anything I should increase it! The GP thought that was not helpful until we had identified any issues that might be causing the bleeding.
I really don't understand why I have an urgent referral. What are they looking for and what are they going to biopsy? So any insight would be very welcome. It makes me worry when I don't understand why things are being suggested.
I am currently on day 8 of the 12 days of Utro and have just started bleeding again, following a bleed last time which was 8 days after the end of the Utro, so I am bleeding again pretty quickly. Not heavy though, just some blood.
Sparkler.
